Sara Kendrick Poet Verse

Melancholy Memory

Deep within my soul
Melancholy feelings
Grip my heart~touching all
Inner parts
Longing to be held
To feel a mother's love
Being swaddled, caressed 
No one there
Security gone
Safety ripped away
Alone to face the world
Weeping weeps
Weepings unanswered
Farther, brothers don't hear
Grandmother's efforts small
Weeping weeps
Melancholy blues
Sadness seems to rule days
A child crys within now
Mother's gone

Written this 13th day of May, 2013
My mother died when I was 15 month's 
old..Deep within my being I still feel
the loss..

Therese Bacha May 14, 2013 at 8:24 AM So so sad to read about your loneliness, missing and disappointments in life leads to many lone days and nights. Be sure we are here for you, sharing is strength we can project through your un healthy moments. Love Terry xoxo
